The stars sink down
a slow spread across the earth
taking the celestial
into the mundane

We forget to look up
and so what is above
surrounds us
until our blindness leaves

We are cosmic creatures
stitched from heavenly cloth
walking magic and miracles
set upon the ground

We hold the stars, the skies, and the seas
within our boundless hearts
waiting for the single spark
to light the fire within ~ Caroline A. Slee
